Sequential Hill's diversity index

Computes Hill's diversity index in a non-parallelized (sequential) manner.

HillS(x, window = 1, alpha = 1, na.tolerance = 1, debugging = FALSE)

`x`	Input data.
`window`	Half of the side of the square moving window.
`alpha`	Alpha value for the order of diversity in Hill's Index.
`na.tolerance`	A numeric value between 0.0 and 1.0, which indicates the proportion of NA values that will be tolerated to calculate Hill's index in each moving window over `x`. If the relative proportion of NA's in a moving window is greater than na.tolerance, then the value of the window will be set as NA; otherwise, the index will be calculated considering the non-NA values. Default value is 1.0 (i.e., full tolerance for NA's).
`debugging`	A boolean variable set to FALSE by default. If TRUE, additional messages will be printed for debugging purposes.

Matrix or a list of matrices with the Hill index computed through a moving window of the given size.
